    'parent' is not a "property".  It's accessed through a builtin function, so
    if you want to protect that, wiz parent() and code $bf_parent() to do all
    the perm checks you want, and also take a look at children() and
    chparent().

    That protects any builtin property, for example
    $server_options.protect_location, set to a true value, -r's the "location"
    prop.  ("location" is already -w.)

    Players already can't change their own names.  Read the programmer's manual.
